Chicken piccata originated in Italy, and although it looks like a more involved dish, I find it very easy to make. It is a great staple weeknight dish. The combination of butter, lemon and capers create intense flavor with every bite. I love making chicken piccata after a run because it has a lot of protein AND carbs, which is great. Speaking of running, I have been doing pretty well with the half-marathon training – 13.5 weeks to go! Today I am up to 4 miles, and 13 miles is seeming almost reachable now haha.

This past weekend was so much fun. We went to a Halloween party on Friday night in North Beach, and I usually get my costumes at Spirit Halloween, but this year was so last minute so I went as a devil. On Saturday, we took a day trip to Santa Cruz and Big Sur. We ate at one of my favorite places, Nepenthe. The view is just gorgeous. The weather was just perfect for the beach. Sunday I continued my training and the weather was again beautiful. I love running when it is sunny outside…for some reason when its foggy I can’t get myself to get out there!

Oh yeah, and GO GIANTS! I know I am a little late, but congrats for winning the World Series (2nd time since I have lived in SF!!).

Love any weeknight staple dishes. Sounds great! And Santa Cruz/Big Sur looks gorgeous. Those are some of my favorite spots — driving through the redwoods and then along the California coastline. Doesn’t get much better!
